Black to move and win

1...Nxe4+ 2.dxe4

If 2.Kb2 Nf2 wins the day.

2...Nb5+








The d-pawn no longer shields white's queen from the d8-rook, once the knight moves off the d-file, simultaneously discovering the attack against the white queen and also giving check.  Giving check is extremely important to this tactic, as otherwise the 2nd player might find time to safe-guard his endangered material.

3.Kc2

3.cxb5 Rxd1 4.Ne2 Bd4+ 5.Nxd4 Qe1+ 6.Nd2 exd4+ 7.Kc2 -+

3...Rxd1 4.Kxd1 Bxg1 5.Rxg1 Qxe4 6.cxb5 Qd4+ Qe1+








Black will pick up the h1-rook, too. 0-1
